      abstract = {Compliance has long been identified by scholars of  white-collar crime as a key strategic control device in the  regulation of corporations and complex organisations.  Nevertheless, this essential process has been largely  ignored within criminology as a specific subject for close  scrutiny Corporate Compliance: Crime, Convenience and  Control seeks to address this anomaly. This initiating book  applies the theory of convenience to provide criminological  insight into the enduring self-regulatory phenomenon of  corporate compliance. Convenience theory suggests that  compliance is challenged when the corporation has a strong  financial motive for illegitimate profits, ample  organisational opportunities to commit and conceal  wrongdoing, and executive willingness for deviant  behaviour. Focusing on white-collar deviance and crime  within corporations, the book argues that lack of  compliance is recurrently a matter of deviant behaviour by  senior executives within organisations who abuse their  privileged positions to commission, commit and conceal  financial crime. Petter Gottschalk is Professor in the  Department of Leadership and Organizational behaviour at BI  Norwegian Business School, Norway. Christopher Hamerton is  Deputy Director of the Institute of Criminal Justice  Research in the School of Economic, Social and Political  Sciences at the University of Southampton, United Kingdom.},
